What would be the "correct" kernel for a Centrino laptop?

[Moparmike]

I'm working on making the move from Mandrake to Debian Sarge on my Toshiba Satellite M10-S405 lappy. Sarge is rolling along great on my Athlon desktop rig and I'm itching to get it setup on my laptop too.

The default net install installed the 386 kernel, but I'm wondering if there would be any advantage to installing a more suitable kernel. And which one would be the correct one? ...x686? This seems to me like it should be the right kernel for a Pentium M CPU. (Yeah, I know...sounds like an idiot question...but I'm an AMD fan and know little about Intel CPUs)

Thanks!

yeah, 686 is what you want.

Debian has a very good list of kernels, look at the kernels listed and pick the one that matched your system.

Thanks! I installed both the 686 kernel and all seems well. Just need to get the nvidia vid drivers sorted now.

Would a choice of Pentium M be worth it?
